OUR BOOB STORIES

A Celebration of Vulnerability

Because the stories our bodies carry deserve to be heard.

I’ve Always Loved Boobs

Probably because I never got any. Just like us humans, our boobs are vulnerable. BARE-ing their truth can be daunting. I wanted to celebrate all kinds of boobs and help girls of all ages open up about what they go through. Boobs can be so taboo. This project was about breaking that silence.

What’s a Boob Story?

Titillations. Celebrations. Devastations.

They come in all shapes and sizes. From budding to sagging. Through sickness and health.

A boob story is about more than breasts. It is about identity. Shame. Pride. Illness. Motherhood. Aging. Confidence. Loss.

This project is our way of saying the things we think but feel we cannot say.

A way for all of us to be seen. To laugh. To cry.
To come closer together.

My Boob Story

I grew up in France, where women go topless on the beach.

As a flat-chested 13-year-old, I’d spy with one eye open at the “specimens” around me. There were a few gorgeous pairs, but mostly, they were just unadorned, funny, bouncy breasts out for a day in the sun. Ladies of all ages, strutting with confidence, looking like they didn’t have a care in the world.

I thought they were all beautiful.

That early exposure normalized bodies. It softened judgment. It taught me that confidence has very little to do with cup size.

Boob Stories

It Started With a Poem

It started with a tongue-in-cheek poem.

My two friends, a writer and an illustrator, and I wrote Ready, Set, Grow! The Awakening of Your Inner Supertiddies.

We thought people would laugh.
They did. But they also shared.

We realized there was an ocean of personal stories waiting to be told. So we shifted gears. The project became part illustrated poem, part short-story collection. A space for honesty wrapped in humor.

AN EXCERPT FROM OUR POEM

Ready, Set, Grow!

The Awakening of Your Inner Supertiddies

Just remember you’re in control! When everything eats at your soul and you don’t feel whole, all it means is you’re ready for some digging and growing. There’s a place, beyond your mind and body, where you’ll find clarity, for deep inside of you, is the real YOU.

Thank you all for sharing your stories, for opening your hearts and exposing your breasts and vulnerabilities. This project is for you, for me and for whoever else out there may have felt like I have— too often caring what others may be thinking, hiding my fears and worries of not belonging or fitting in. And since I never fit into anything other than an A cup, your stories will remind me and hopefully others, to have the compassion and courage to let the light from within shine inside and out of our wonderful beings.

Illustrator
Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved seeing people immortalized on paper. I was especially drawn to the eccentrics – who, like me, see the world a different way. All my characters are important to my ever expanding world; a world of positive moments and lifelong enjoyment. I want my art to make you smile and feel good for a moment or for a lifetime. Enjoy. debbielelievre.com

A nun decided it was appropriate to announce in front of all my classmates that I needed to wear a bra because she could see my nipples through my uniform. I was 11, and mortified and it would be one of several moments in my schooling where adult women would basically shame me for having a body. I am the creator/producer/headliner of “Awkward Sex… and the City,” a comedy show and podcast which pairs sexual inclusion with hilarious awkward sexual tales. Today as a comedian and producer my main goal is to create inclusive spaces where all can feel seen and be heard. @awkwardsexandthecity
